A million civilians are fleeing for their lives from the violent devastating Israeli invasion of Gaza.

Not a peep from our leaders, not even ‘urgings from afar’.

After the UN determines this a genicide, our leaders shrug and say nothing 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔🤬🇮🇱

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Netanyahu is trying to replace social media images of suffering Palestinians and the destruction of their homes… with those of suffering Israelis and their destroyed homes.

So he needs to:
1) bait Iran to attack and
2) cut all comms out of Gaza.

Our mainstream media will swallow it whole.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:
4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care
In 2023, a Mexican girl, 4, was allowed U.S. entry for lifesaving medical care. She and her parents, who live in Bakersfield, have been told they must leave.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

Says a lot that the Trump White House lobbied Romania to release an accused rapist and sex trafficker — but refuses to do anything for a father they kidnapped and wrongfully deported to El Salvador.

This is horrific.The home office has decided that a female Afghan rights defender seeking asylum in the UK faces "no risk from the Taliban" and denied her claim.

She will be killed — or, frankly, worse — if she is returned to Afghanistan.

This cannot stand.

These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp.

As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.

Imagine if this were all wild, self-seeded native rainforest, teeming with life, instead of deadzone alien sitka. Around 90% of Ireland's 'forests' are plantations, compared to a European average of only 3%.

Our ecocidal forestry policy is a primary reason why nature is dying away, and MUST change.
